Insights

Aviation History

The Piper PA-18 Super Cub is an iconic American taildragger, especially known for bush flying, flight training, and general utility work.

Fleet Rarity

While no longer in production, thousands remain flying globally; moderately rare but still common in North America.

Record Flights

Popular for Alaska bush flying, short takeoff and landing (STOL) operations, and remote area access.

Safety & Events

Widely used in banner towing, glider towing, aerial photography, and frequently involved in general aviation incidents due to remote and rugged operation.

Future Outlook

Most surviving Super Cubs are cherished by private owners, restored, and widely used in recreation and bush operations.
